Google testing AI-generated ‘restyled’ songs for YouTube Shorts: Details

Google is testing a new feature for YouTube Shorts that allows creators to “restyle” licensed audio tracks using artificial intelligence. The experimental feature is part of YouTube’s Dream Track experiment and is available to select creators on the platform with a limited number of songs.

In an update to the YouTube changelog, the company said creators part of the experiment could select an eligible song and describe how they want to restyle it. The feature then uses generative AI to create a 30-second soundtrack for YouTube Shorts.
